Most likely going as a quasi-tourist in 2007; with an all-access pass and wireless-enabled laptop I think I can work pretty much anywhere without troubling the Media people. But I have a dozen races between now and then so time will tell.
I missed the ambience and the company, and I missed especially wandering around the paddock and garages in the early morning hours. But I have to say that it as great to fold up the sofa bed, take a hot shower and have breakfast as soon as the race was over, and not have two more days before I got home.
want someone to hold you bag Kate?!  |

Thanks for that termietermite. Not heard of the 24th week of the year before. I guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake, as this was only my 26th year there!!! Doh!!
Don't worry, I didn't fall in either, just picked this up from somebody else this year. Clever what? Ah yes.....but is it the 24th Saturday, or the 24th Sunday?  ? Not always the same you know!!!!  |

And on top of that, I'm going to stand up for Fax!!!!!
He might post what the mis-informed seem to conceive as stroppy, self opinionated messages, but as someone who has been fortunate enough to meet him in person and share a few beers as well as thoughts and stories with him, let me tell you that Fax is one of the nicest, best informed, honest, race-goers that you could ever wish to meet!
If anyone would care to look back through the archives and see the informative threads that Fax and Nordic have shared they would see this!
I'm sure the other CA'ers that have met him will agree with me!
Case Closed!!!!!

I'm thinking about it.
No way man. I'm going to sell all of our tickets on ebay for a f**cking song and then f**ck off to the Bahamas with a totally f**cking fit brass who is into older dudes 'avec le massif derby' for some serious bonding of the biological kind. Arriva derci suckers. Rusticus |

I sent my request for a modest 10 MB tickets back in March for the 07-race. You guess that's early enough?  |

Hi Mark, Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I readily admit to sometimes being stroppy, and hell yes I'm opinionated! But at the end of the day, I can with a fair amount of certainty say that I'm as passionate about motor racing as anyone on this forum, hence the reason I'm so belligerent some times. If I didn't give a damn I wouldn't bother posting at all. All of the CA'ers I've met over the years are a lovely bunch, and I do mean ALL of them. I can only aspire to leave a similar impression on those I meet. I apologoze if I tend to engage the mouth, so to speak, before engaging the brain, but I was a James Hunt fan after all  Cheers all, watching the Britain-Ecuador game as I write this...Go England!

Fax, you told me the other day on the phone that everyone on CA was a w**k*r! Missed you this year buddy. Had a great trip - just got back from France this past Friday night. There are some great new additions to the crew - hope you'll get to meet them next yr. I'm firm for the Petit but will leave the F1 to all ye land lubbers as I'm going "afloat" from this coming Thursday 'till after the 4th! |

If you do, try to get there on Friday for the scrutineering at the track - the best chance you'll get to see the cars really close up (apart from the Audis which are treated like the biggest industrial secret on the planet and guarded by a small army). |

Ok, so Thursday night crossing it is then, to get down to the circuit early Friday morning. Thanks for the tip. |
